Place your Anemone at an area where the flow is low. And if possible, in crevices which they can fit into. They do not like their body to be exposed.

The position they are sitting at is kind of a blind spot between the wavemaker and return piping so flow should be pretty low.. As for temp, maybe i try doing at 26 or so..did that before and the chiller kicks in very often thats y i had it change to abt 27.

What I read is that Everytime they molt they will become pregnant. But without another shrimp to fertilize the eggs, they will just become food for the other fishes when released.

From what I read, Shrimps are female when they molt and that's why have eggs. When their shell is hard, they will be male. So it's like a dual sex thingy.

Yes bro last week i saw a body shell at my wavemaker and i thought siao liao one shrimp got sucked in..but no leh it actually molted. And yes i do have a pair of them.

Shall see what happens next...i used to have a freshwater cherry red shrimps and they reproduce like nobody's business man..but i guess this kind is different.

Was so bz with work and finally have some time to update a little...

All anemones sold.

[schnitzer44]

Couple of days back few of my reefing buddies here went chiong-ing and bought on my behalf,"read: just bought without asking me", a powderblue tang and...a durian.

Well the PBT have got one of the nicest colouring and marking i seen recently while sourcing for it. About 3-3.5 incher, healthy and started nipping on algae once i let it in.

Also bought a tiny 2 incher cute little blue tang...nice fella

[schnitzer44]

Durian!

Ok....i have not seen this before but it looks...quite nice so just left it on the sandbed.

[schnitzer44]

Ok... More updates later when light comes on..if not now update photos also no colouring..

Hi bro, nice Zoas collection... My RBTA anemone tend to stop bubbling up and became longish instead after 2 years. What about yours?

[schnitzer44]
